Ship builder wishes

Published on Thursday, August 9, 2018 By jadotch In Star Control Ideas/Wishes

I just finished my first spaceship build, here are a quick few suggestion to make things a little more user friendly on the ship creating side.

-A simple arrow on the grid pointing which direction is forward. In the beginning of a creation, I got confused a few times.

-Also on the grid, mark the boundaries of a Large, Medium and Small ship size. I did not know how big to make the model.

-Let us copy parts that have already been placed.  Sometimes you use a part repeatedly of a weird size or angle. (like a duplicate button!!)

-Simple Objects! Add a 6-sided cube to build off of. And some sort of long thin object that does not look like a spine.

-Different tabs to separate the objects in categories. I kept getting lost trying to re-find a certain object I placed.

-Let us manually type in numbers! This would have been incredible useful trying to match angles a few time.

That's my 2 cents. Overall it was a fun experience building my first ship, just some frustration that could have been avoided. I tried to limit it to what I think would be fairly easy to implement with out going overboard and make the user experience a bit easier.
